THE ONLY TOOL "NON-DESIGNERS" NEED TO CREATE STUNNING, HIGH CONVERTING WEBPAGES IN MINUTES!
Thrive: A "Must-Have" Wordpress Plugin for Online Marketers
Tired of spending hundreds on designers and programmers?
...You don't have to!
In this article, I'll show you the tool I used to build this page in minutes!
I built my entire scholarship page with Thrive. You can check it out here if you like.
No, I don't have a computer science degree. I'm not a programmer either.
I was a stinkin' Spanish major, actually!
And yet, I built it, and it took me minutes using *Thrive Content Builder.
And so can you!
A FEW OTHER COOL PROJECTS I BUILT WITH THRIVE
This one uses a numbered header (I love how the colors pop here) as well as stylized bullet points and a nifty video player.
You can use background images and place text over it. Here's a quick video showing you how I do that.
Thrive makes it easy to drop text anywhere, make it any size, font, and color. Simple and beautiful.
I'm using columns here. You simply drag a 2/3 1/3 column into your visual editor and place the text on one side and image on the other.
HOW IT WORKS
It’s all about Thrive’s Drag n Drop page builder.
It’s so simple!
Have you ever wanted to make a minor change on your website, and spent 3 hours trying to figure out how to do it?
Do you look at other websites and wish you had awesome looking content “like theirs?”
Yeah, me too!
What’s even worse is spending hundreds of dollars on developers to fix something (or make a page look the way you want).
If you know what you want, you should be able to do it yourself, right?
It’s 2017 for pete’s sake!
Now you can with Thrive Content Builder…
What is Thrive Content Builder?
Thrive Content Builder is a "drag-n-drop" Visual Editor for Wordpress. It makes designing blog posts, creating landing pages, and even full webpages, an absolute breeze.
You can use Thrive to simply spruce up the look of your blog posts, or create custom pages from scratch.
THRIVE'S "DRAG 'N DROP" TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
Here's how I use Thrive to enhance my blog posts.
The result?
- More visitor time on site
- More conversions
- More sales!!
In other words, it's super functional and intuitive like the commercials you've seen for Wix or Squarespace, except with Thrive, you get to stay on Wordpress!!
And if you're into SEO and content marketing, you know you want to stay on Wordpress.
Everyone on Wordpress should be using Thrive Content Builder.
No worries if you're computer illiterate like me. I'll show you the exact steps to set it up here.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE AWESOME WAYS I'M USING THRIVE:
Quickly Add Columns & Clickable Buttons
One of my favorite ways to set up blog posts now is using a full-width page, then putting content in one column, and large images in the other. Readers love big images. It cuts down the text into more bite sized chunks.

Add Awesome Calls to Action
This is my favorite call-to-action in Thrive Content Builder. Stick one of these after you've just gotten done explaining why someone should buy from you instead of a competitor, or after explaining a key benefit of your product or service.
Watch this video to learn how I do it.
Comparison Boxes
These are great for "skimmers". Comparisons are quick & easy to digest and will keep your visitors on your site!
This video shows you how I do it.
Break Up Long Form Content
with Beautiful Headings
Next time you write "5 tips for..." make your article pop by using these section headings. This will definitely help your content stand out! I find it looks terrific to use the 2 column (content & image) look immediately after a numbered header.
This video shows you how to do it.
TIRED OF DULL, DRAB LOOKING CONTENT?
I know how hard it is to get a dang visitor to your site. So why lose valuable leads and sales because you couldn't keep that visitor's attention? Thrive makes it easy to create fully customized pages, or just makeover your existing blog posts.
HOW THRIVE HELPS YOUR SITE
Look:
It’s not secret that Google’s job is to display the BEST search results for its users.
And one of the big things Google keeps an eye on is this…
Are people staying on your site?
In other words, if you have a nice, clean design, with lots of white space, easy to navigate, easy to read, people will stay on your site longer, hit the back button LESS, and Google will reward you with higher rankings and more traffic.

ADDING ICONS
One of my favorite features of Thrive Content Builder is the ability to add icons to your articles and pages.
Buying images can get expensive, and honestly, usually you don't need an image. A lot of times an icon will do to break up the monotony of the text.
USING BACKGROUND IMAGES / ADDING TEXT
The trick if you want to add text, buttons, or anything else on top of an image is you have to use a "background image."
And the only way to add one of those is by first adding a page section. The video explains all.
